I don’t want your promises, I want consistency


Your words may not be lies and you may really mean what you say.<><>

You may want to keep your promises, but I can’t trust you so easily.<><>

I have had my share of lessons in life for being so naive.<><>

I’ve been lied to, too often. <><>My confidence has been shattered so many times before.<><>

I have given too many bad people the benefit of the doubt.<><>

I always ended up being mocked or broken, even when I had the purest intentions.<><>

That’s why I don’t need your empty words, I need consistency.<><>

I stopped believing people’s words so easily. <><>

You are what you do, not what you pretend you are going to do.<><>

So whatever someone promises me, I take it with reserve.<><>

I don’t take it with heart. <>And I behave like this in order to save my broken heart.<><>

That way, if people keep their promises, I can be happy.<><>

Otherwise, at least, I am not disappointed because I expected nothing at the start.<><>

I stopped trusting people so easily.<><>

You may be good, but you may be toxic too.<><>

I don't want your promises, I want consistency

And I’m no longer ready to play with my heart.<><>

I don’t want to welcome people just because they look good or nice.<><>

That was the old me and the old me had been hurt so many times before.<><>

The old self was too naive and trusted people too easily.<><>

Now that life has given me all of these lessons, I am much smarter.<><>

And so you’ll have to prove to me that you’re good before I can let you in.<><>

I have already been broken. <><>Before, I had no problem putting the pieces together and moving on.<><>

But, unfortunately, I was broken once too often and I am not as strong as before.<><>

I can’t manage toxic people as well as before. <>Now, more than ever, I doubt myself.<><>

I don't want your promises, I want consistency

I still believe that there must be something wrong with me, that it is me who is doing something wrong that is making people treat me so badly.<><>

It must be me, right?<><>

I am not strong enough to allow another toxic person to take over me.<><>

Even if you are not bad, I cannot take the risk, because I am not sure of succeeding in getting back on my feet if it turns out that you were like everyone else.<><>

I can’t convince myself that it’s not my fault, I couldn’t tell myself that I’m not the one who makes people mean, I couldn’t convince myself that people are what they are are and that it never really depends on me.<><>

It is my duty to protect my heart.<><>

If you are worthy of it, you will prove it to me. <><>You will show me that I can trust you.<><>

It will turn out that you are good in time. <>I won’t need to risk my mental health with you.<><>

I don't want your promises, I want consistency

And if you really are a good guy, you will try to understand.<><>

You will try to put yourself in my place and understand why I am as I am.<><>

You will see how this sensitive and caring girl turned into a closed and reserved girl.<><>

Ask me anything and I’ll tell you, but don’t expect me to trust you, just because it’s you.<><>

When you ask me to trust you, you will see a dose of doubt in my eyes.<><>

It will not be easy to get rid of this doubt because I still have my past clinging to me.<><>

I still remember the people who used me, who lied to me and who made fun of me, they are always somewhere in my head.<><>

And even if you don’t deserve it, all doubts come to me like waves reminding me not to trust you.<><>

Do you think I like being broken? <><>

Do you think I like being so hard on you? <>I can not help it.<><>

We can fix it, and even if it won’t be easy, if you put enough effort into it, if you prove to me that you are good, I promise you, it will be worth it. <><>

Please don’t become like everyone else. <><>

I don't want your promises, I want consistency

Do not be like those I have had the opportunity to meet in my life before you.<><>

Prove to me that you are worthy of my love and my trust.<><>

Show me that I can count on you.<><>

Prove to me that you will not go anywhere and that you will not leave me broken.<><>

I need consistency, I need to see your efforts, your love, your kindness and your attention.<><>

You can convince me to trust you, but not by words, never by words.<><>

I don’t need an apology, or another promise that things will be different next time, because it would kill me.<><>

Do not tell me that you are different, show me that it is so.<><>

Your words may not be lies and you may really mean what you say.<><>

You may want to keep your promises, but I can’t trust you so easily.<><>
